This is a rather colossal flip-up.

For all the prestige many of us would heap on to the UK justice system, it all comes to a halt because of an IT failure and the administration of law just stopped.

Yes, there are many benefits to electronic and computerised methods of processing justice – on balance, it most certainly outperforms a paper method – but this whole debacle has just fuelled my concern about the complete lack of contingencies. It’s the legal equivalent of a drone being spotted near a runway.
